❤️🇯🇵 Valentine’s Day in Japan
Today is Valentine’s Day and in Japan the tradition is a little different from many other countries. On 14 February, it’s common for women to give chocolate to men — friends, classmates, coworkers or someone they like. There are even different types of chocolate: 本命チョコ (ほんめいチョコ/honmei choko) — chocolate for someone you really like 義理チョコ (ぎりチョコ/giri choko) — “obligation chocolate” for friends or coworkers Then, one month later on 14 March (White Day), men often give gifts in return.
